问题    Greenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way, this does not means, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities.
   The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighbourhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the Street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect.
   The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you.  
The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to ______.
选项 A、the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighbourhood
B、the location of recreation facilities far from home
C、relatively little attention for recreative possibilities
D、the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighbourhood
答案B
解析 本题测试对句子意思的理解。参阅第二段第一句：多年来在城乡规划中人们一直把居住、工作、交通和娱乐从理论上进行了分割，依我看，这就使人们过多地注意把各种娱乐设施建在远离家园的地方，而很少关注改善开发家园附近居住区的娱乐潜力。
